The high turnout in Manhattan and Brooklyn is a very good sign for Mamdani. It looks like progressive, whiter and richer areas have stronger turnout in 2025 relative to 2021.

If the Secret Service thought he was an attacker, then someone is training them VERY badly.

Trump said he wanted to put America first, but clearly he's putting his own ego first.

Luckily, most Americans agree that the KGB-style parade in DC is bad for our country. And it's interesting that independents have swung far towards the Democrats on this.

It's time to remind each other that imperfect allies aren't enemies.

Last night, someone recommended NOT voting. Here is a printout of my voting record from the Board of Elections.

I am not going to listen to anyone who wants me to give up my power to vote.

I feel SO sorry for Tesla investors.
June 5, 2025 at 7:25 PM
Tesla stock has been going up, despite collapsing sales. Investors are treating it like a meme stock, and that was made super obvious today. Musk is criticizing Trump, and the Trump-lovers are punishing the stock, as far as I can tell.

John Woeltz was arrested for allegedly torturing Italian tourist in NYC. He recently advised the Kentucky Blockchain Technology Working Group.

Welcome to the finance bros advising our government since Trump was elected.

The NY Post was so hopeful the GOP could win a new State Senate seat in Brooklyn.

But after Trump won the district by 55 points in 2024, Democrat Sam Sutton won by 34 points. That's a HUGE swing towards the USA and against the GOP/KGB.

Here is a post by one of the white South Africans that Trump just paid to immigrate into the United States. He say that Jews are "dangerous."

DOGE imagery elements:
1) Patriotic flags and such
2) Internet meme quotes
3) Nazi symbolism

The strangest thing about this DOGE image is the yellow around the flag. Gears around a flag are a symbol of labor. But 14 cogs make it explicit reference to German Labor Front, an org of the Nazi Party.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Elon Musk! I have such empathy for you now that Susan Crawford won in Wisconsin.

Using the margins from today's election, this is roughly how the 2024 presidential election would look. Roughly speaking.

Voters swung to the Democrats by nearly 20%. This is a HUGE victory for the American and a huge loss for Trump/Musk.

Here are the results from Florida 6th Congressional District.

GOP slaughtered Democrats in Volusia County in the Florida 6th Congressional District in November. Now:
Dems are leading!

Same district, same parties, wildly different results. Republicans got 59% of the early/mail votes then—not any more.

Mary Sophia Allen was a fierce suffragist in the UK, and ended her life as an animal rights activist. She was also a vocal fascist, joining British Union of Fascists and she was proud to have met Hitler and Mussolini.

Just to be clear, Fascism is bad. Very.

Huge swing towards the Democrats in Florida 6th Congressional District in St. Johns County.

In Nov 2024, Republicans won early voters by close to 3 to 1. In March 2025, GOP leads Dems on 3 to 2.

Wow!

Florida 6th Congressional District results are looking VERY good for Democrats. In November, GOP was ahead 2 to 1 in early voting in Volusia County. Now, they are ahead merely 51% to 44%.

The GOP dominated Flagler early voting the Florida 6th Congressional District, roughly by a 3 to 1 margin.

As of today, they have roughly a 2 to 1 margin, which is a stunning loss of support.

Luckily, we have Republicans in Congress who put country over party... NOT.
